There was rea son to apprehend not only a repetition of the Irish horrors of 1817, but to fear likewise the outbreak of popular discontent or the deadly presence of epidemic disease. From all these evils we have been mercifully spared, and there is no doubt that under Providence that exemption is due to the promptness and efficiency of the means taken for the relief of the distress. The contributions flowed in faster than they were needed, and although the committee always wisely kept a large balance on hand, yet the receipts were still large, when they were able to announce that henceforward local charity would be sufficient to meet the need. And the distribution of aid, which was a task of no ordinary difficulty and delicacy among so many corflictieg claims and local jealousies, has been accomplished with a discretion and a liberality of spirit which has preserved public harmony un broken. 13e, notwithstanding the readiness and efficiency of the aid, or rather perhaps in consequence of those characteristics, the great danger which political economists feared to be al most inevitable, has been happily averted; and far from the population becoming demoralised and inclined to pauperism, the opportunity of again working for their living is everywhere hailed with joy. The operatives have shown themselves willing to follow other occupations to which they have been unaccustomed, they have undertaken the out-door work provided under the Public Works Act with promptness and cheerfulness, while in several of the outlying unions the arrival of the cotton bales once more called forth tears and blessings. There is indeed great cause for thankfulness that the country should have passed through such a crisis with safety, that the very cause which threatened to provoke disaffection and disturbance should only have served to promote goodwill and kindliness, and to draw classes nearer together by manifesting a common sympathy and spirit of sacrifice. At Christmas, 1863, the maximum cf distress was reached in the startling number of 410,279 reci pients of relief. At Midsummer last the amount bad fallen to 112,598, not much more than a fifth of the previous number now relieved, is still further reduced, being 96,295 ; and although this seems at first a large aggregate, it is necessary to remember that the ordinary pauperism of these unions is very large, rising in the winter months to about 50,000, so that the average pressure on the rates is now only about double that of 1861, which was reckoned to be the most prosperous year which Lancashire had ever known. Lancashire has had cause to remember and regret those prosperous days so quickly succeeded by such appalling dia. tress, but brighter days are now dawning upon her. From the relief committees of Reyton, Lees, S a lford, and Newton Heath, letters were read at the meeting on Monday announcing the gratifying fact that they had been enabled to eke() their ope rations. Each of these several bodies, in thus com pleting their undertaking, expressed their obliga tions to the Central Committee for their liberality and attention. The present condition of affairs manifests a steady improvement, which is more encouraging than any sudden alteration. In the month of June this year there were 286,869 opera tives at work full time, 80,066 short time, and 1 05,161 out of work; while in July there were 29 2,448 on full time, 67,660 on short time, and 101,568 out of work. The number of recipients of relief from all sources, too, fell in the course of that month from 111,346 to 96,295. One thou sand six hundred and sixty-eight skilled operatives sod 2,600 factory workers are at present employed on public works; and calculating these on an average of four Persons to a family, nearly 20,000 persons ar e thus kept cif the rates. Mr. VILLIERS's Bill has, therefore, b e en productive of eubstau tis good,and the good i e nature. It was well known th a t , of a lasting not withstanding the wealth, the en ergy, and the large population of the manufacturing districts, their sanitary arrangements were most defective, a ddi ng largely to the waste of life so common in such places. They were like a man of business wh o i s so much engrossed:in his trade or profession that he has no time or leisure to,bestow on the require. meats of his own family. Engrossed in the all absorbing interest of their trade and its belongings, manufacturers and operatives alike were indifferent to such trifling matters as drainage, paving, and other necessary measures. Towns sprung np quickly where villages used to stand, and a dense population speedily settled round them, with none of the ordinary appliances that secure the health of towns. The bees of the busy hiveawere constantly swarming, but the new hives were ill-fitted for their recepticn. The great distress will therefore in this view become a lasting benefit. No less than 77 places were availing themselves of the Public Works Act on August 15th. In many places, ac cording to the report, the works are being carried on with reduced numbers, owing to the opening of an d to the agricultural operations of this season. P:eston, Ashton, and Glossop are the chief places in which there are yet large numbers unemployed, but even in these there is a considerable amelioration. So satisfactory is the general state of affairs that the Hon. Secretary prepared, on Monday, a resolu tion to the effect, that the grants of the committee should henceforth be confined to the relief of per. sons not receiving parochial aid. He remarked that it was desirable that the whole of the districts should be prepared for the cessation of relief from extraneous quarters, and that this would be a good beginning. Mr. MASON, of Ashton, made some opposition on behalf of that district, and it was ultimately determined to qualify the resolution by the condition that the pauperism should not exceed 5 per cent. of the population. This was the wisest course as meeting the exceptional cases, while pro viding for a gradual change, and certainly in the hour of returning prosperity the cpuntry will not begrudge a little additional help to those who have so nobly borne the winter of adversity. Nothing can exceed the want of good feeling ex hibited by the Federals throughout the war in which they have been so long engaged,but their last exploits are worthy of the Prussians, and certainly it is a satire on the race that was to be the beacon for the nations that they are resorting to the most brlrbarous modes practised by the Old World. The system now adopted of deporting women and children, and sending them to a wilderness, is perfectly atrocious, and for ever disgraces the Government which sanc tions, and stamps with infamy the men who carry out the inhuman work i❑ its shameful details and extravagant purposes. The cause of this barbarous treatment is that their victims refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the Federal cause. Two hundred and forty-nine women and children were sent north cf the`Ohio by SHERMAN they were quite destitute, and it may be supposed therefore what these men wish than to endure, sent as they are among those who hate them. Some of these were put into the military prison, and thence sent down the Missis sippi to the extreme limits of the Gulf of Mexico, " to dwell with alligators, or to die in the swamps," as it is emphatically described in the account. The administrative organ has the audacity to state that these victims are "on a journey for their rights." Such conduct and language are a disgrace to the Federals as men ; they lower themselves in the scale of humanity, and the most inveterate partisan of their cause must be disgusted at their course. War or peace are secondary things in comparison with such savage display of arbitrary power, and such uncalled for and unmeaning vio• lence against defenceless persons. If anything were wanting to deter the Confederate States from prosecuting the war with vigour it would be this inhuman mode now practised. Nothing less than revenge can be meant by it, and that revenge of the lowest order and the most revolting kind. That States calling themselves Christian should thus desecrate the highest law§ is quite incomprehensible, and that o. civilised people should permit the Go vernment to do such things is quite extraordinary. In order to be consistent the Federals should no longer call themselves a Republic, but a Despotism, and no more insult common sense by profaning the name of freedom in applying it to their actions. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is one of the most excellent institutions in the country. It operates as a check upon many who would other wise not be deterred from practising their cruel propensities, and the fear of exposure will restrain them when no considerations of a higher nature will prevail. It is to be expected, however, that when the agents of this society have succeeded in proving a case in question, and clearly exemplified that the facts are of a particulaey aggravated nature, due attention will be paid to their assertions. It is much to be regretted when too much laxity is shown to the offender, and the ends of justice are not met. An extreme case of cruelty to a horse was brought before the Enfield Petty sessions, and the whole of the evidence tended to show that no excuse was given for any violence, but that the measures employed were wanton and brutal in the extreme. The defendant's position in life only served to increase the evil, for he had had the advantages of education and society to restrain his passions, instead of giving way to them to such a frightful extent. The pony he was driving was generally driven by his daughter, and when they reached a particular spot the pony turned to go as usual to the residence of a family where the young lady was in the habit of calling. Instead of employing proper means for quieting or directing the animal, the defendant struck it so violently that it broke from the vehicle ; he then jumped down, and for a quarter of an hour beat it about the head in the most savage manner. In vain those who assembled round the spot tried to remonstrate with him—he persisted in his savage treatment. The de• fence made by the accused only made matters worse, for he adopted a sort of bravado style, and . ev id ent l y thought that he was above criticism. No wonder there was "sensation" among his wearers when he said that the pony was not thrashed half enough, as "it wanted a good thrashing three or four hours a day with a good thick ash stick." It seems strange, after the case had been fairly proved, and the defendant, instead of expressing contrition, only used le.nguage unbecoming and uncalled for, that the Court should not have adopted stronger measures to show their disapproval of his wor?.,s and conduct. A more lame conclusion could not have followed so outrageous an affair. He was merely told that the case came within the statute, and that unnecessary violence had been used. He was farther informed that he could appeal, if he thought proper, and the trifling penalty of forty shillings and casts was inflicted. It is a great pity that the defendant did not appeal, because by that means more publicity would have been given to the affair, and a higher Court would not, in all pro bability, have dealt so leniently with the affair. It is an occurrence deeply to be regretted that so gross an instance of cruelty should be suffered to go by unmarked by a decided reproof. If it were not in the power of the Court to inflict a heavy fine, no thing prevented the strongest censure being be stowed upon the cruelty practised. It is monstrous that a man of property and position should be suffered to go on unchecked in such a course, for the harm he can do by his ungovernable temper is ten times more extensive than any injuries a poor man can inflict. There are many who may suffer wrong, cruelty, and in -1 Justice, and not have the means to make their grifivances known, while some may be deterred from doing so for fear of the consequenoes of attacking one in an influential position. It cannot be hoped that whatever means are employed a decided change can come over such a disposition, but at least for the sake of society, for the cause of justice, and the interests of humanity, such conduct should be denounced in the strongest terms that custom allows to be employed. It is a grave offence thus to tor ture a poor animal, and no right-minded person will deny that the offender in this instance escaped without receiving his deserts. The Jews in Morocco. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The press has kindly given publicity to the letter which I had recently the honour to receive from his Excellency Sid Taib EI Y-aniny, the Vizier or Prime Minister of his Sheriffiin Mnjesty the Emperor of Morocco. A narrative, however, has since appeared de scribing the cruel treatment, attended with a fatal result of a Jew in the province of Haha, at the hand of its deputy-governor; and an apprehension has arisen that the Moorish Government does not really intend to fulfil its humane promises. I believe the accompanying communications will show that this apprehension may be dismissed. The writer is an influential Jewish merchant of Mogador, and it will be observed how highly he and his co-religionists estimate the beneficial effects —present and to come—of the Imperial edict. Prejudices and abuses of long.•standing, parti cularly when fostered and sustained by religious fanaticism, are not suddenly nor easily remediable, even in well-organised States. In a country like Morocco the advance of civili sation must necessarily be progressive.—l have the honour to remain, sir, your faithful and obedient servant, MOSES MONTEFIORE. East Cliffe Lodge, Ramsgate, Aug. 16. Mogador, July 25, 1864, Esteemed Sir,—l take upon myself the painful task of communicating to you a .nost deplorable event, which has very recently occurred in the vicinity, within a few hours' ride from this town. A poor Jew, named Joseph Ben Eieh M'sellim, a resident of this town, while travelling for his usual occupation of petty trsding, in the adjoining province of Haha, had occa sion to present himself at the residence of the governor of t'ae province to prefer a complaint to the chief in command respecting some money which he said he had been robbed of and lost. It appears that the khalifa, or deputy gover nor, Sidi Ilougselin (then acting in place of the governor of the province, Hadj Abdalla, who was absent), did not credit the said Jew's story, and, under the impres • sion that his statement was false, ordered him to be punished with the lash, which was so severely applied that the pcor Jew was left dead on the spot, and some hours afterwards his remains were buried there by some Jews sent from hence to bring the body of the deceased to this town for interment, but which was refused by the khalifa. I shall not attempt at present to describe to you the whole of the details of this shocking cruel affair which have come to my hearing, as it would be difficult to do so perhaps with all truth and correctness. I am however happy to inform you that the resident consuls, including myself, have taken up this affair properly and seriously, and have each made their reports to the consuls-general and European Ministers at Tangier, with the object of obtainining from the Court of the Sultan a thorough investigation into this horrible tragedy, with due reparation and security for the future against repetition of such totally unjustifiable conduct on the part of the Sultan's chiefs in command in the different parts of the empire; and ] feel persuaded that his Imperial Majesty will not only cause strict it quiry about this melancholy event, but will likewise take all possible means to prevent the recurrence of similar disgraceful conduct on the part of his different governors in the country. I think it right to mention that the said province of liaha has, for a great many years, been ruled by its present governor Hadj Abdalla, who, although considered a very strict and severe chief, showing but little mercy to delis quents of all classes, at the same time the province is quiet and comparatively orderly, and due protection is afforded for travellers, traders, strangers, and property; and during the disasters of the bombardment of Mogador by the French some years ago, and the more recent troubles caused by the Spanish war with the empire, the Jews of this place were all received everywhere in Hahn, and their persons and property protected, and were all well-treated as far as possible to be do - _,e under the strict surveillance and by the voluntary d.asire of the ruling governor, Hadj Abdalla, and much to his credit. Mogador is situated in the province of tlaha, and its inhabitants could scarcely expect, in s'ach times us described, to obtain equal security and pro'.;ction In any other of the surrounding provinces, where there exists greater cenfuiion and misrule. I wish to remove any impression that may erroneously be felt that your late visit to this country is the cause, or in arly way connected with disasters similar to the occur rence above described; on the contrary, the recent edict of the Sultan, published on the occasion of your visit to his Court, has undoubtedly produced the most beneficial results, and without which, at the present moment, the position of the Jews in this empire might be far worse. I feel, however, confident the good cfncts of the edict in ques tion will increase tenfold in the course of time. Hoping this will find you in perfect enjoyment of good health, and presenting the grateful respects of myself and family, I have the honour to be, esteemed sir, your devoted and obedient servant, ABRAHADI CAAS, To Sir Moses Montefiore, Bart., F,B„S„ Mogador, Aug. I, Mt Esteemed Sir,—Since the recent deplorable event of the death of a poor Jew by unmerited severe castigation in the province close to this town, which I mentioned to you in my letter of July last, I now come to inform you that the chief governor Of the raid province of Haha, Sidi Hadj Abdalla, has returned to his residence there, and his excel lency, immediately on learning the circumstances of the case, expressed his strong disapprobation of the conduct of his deputy in this shocking affair, and has written a long letter directed to our governor, Kaid El Mehddi, instruct ing him to call a meeting of the chief of the Jews of Mogador, and read over to them its contents in extenua tion, with manifold promises of entire security against the chance of repetition of such gross outrage in future, and intimating his desire to make some reparation for the past unfortunate occurrence which he says took place in his absence entirely without his knowledge. " His excellency offers the payment cf a fine or penalty to be given as an atonement and consolation to the family of the deceased, and that they should give him, as custo mary among the Moors in such cases, an acquittance or pardon for the life of the deceased. 'When the meeting of the Jews heard the contents of the aforesaid letter they consulted among themselves the matter, and they took into consideration the previous comparative kind treatment and protection afforded to the Jews of this' town by the people of the province of Haha, under the direction of the said Kaid Hadj Abdalla, at the time of the French and Spanish ware in this empire. And fearing to bring upon themselves the of the people of the said province, in case of being placed in similar circumstances, as above mentioned, they called to the relations of the deceased to accept the aforesaid proposals of Kaid Abdalla, and they refused, say ing They have had their case reported to the foreign Ministers, &e., and will leave the matter in their hands. Bat the Jews pointed out to them the danger that may arise if they refused, and they obliged them to give the acquittance or pardon required, according to the Moorish laws and usual customs. The meeting refused to receive from his Excellency Raid Abdalla what he offered to pay, C a e n a d se t d. hey contributed among themselves the su m o f £123, which they have handed over to the said relations of de- It is no small advantage for us to feel the certainty that this Raid and all others are greatly influenced to do good, from the knowledge that all public affairs are strictly re• ported to the foreign Ministers and consular corps at Tangier as well as elsewhere, the salutary effect of whose just inter ference in all necessary cases is incontestable.—l have the honour to be, esteemed sire your faithful and obedient humble servant, ABRAHAM C 445• To Sir Montefiore, Bart., F.R.S., &o. LORD PALMERSTON AND MS CONSTITUENTS.""' The Premier has signified his intention of paying ft visit to his constituents on the occasion of Tiverton races, which are appointed to take place on the 24th and 25th of the present month. His lordship's private secretary, in reply to an invitation from Mr. F. A.

NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN BRIGHTON. —The Roman Catholic church of St. Mary Mag dalen, in Brighton, which was partly open some time ago, has been completed, and yesterday the solemn opening of the entire building took place. The Right Rev. Dr. Grant, Roman Catholic bishop of Southwark, celebrated high mass, assisted by several of the clergy of the dioc , :se. The music was by Hummel, and was well performed. The sermon Was preached by Dr. Manning. There was present a large number of the laity. The church is situated in Upper- North-street, in the north-west part of Brighton, is in the early English style, and is very beautiful. On each side of the nave are several arches, supported by massive pillars, adorned with some excellent carved work. The roof is of stained oak. The church has a tower 60 feet high, and from this tower there rises a spire, also 60 feet high. The spire can be seen from a great distance. Mr Blount, of London, is the architect, and Messrs. Chessman, Fabian, and Zenner executed the different parts of the works, TIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 17, 1864. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. I LE EUTER'S TELEGRAMS.] AMERICA.

The Cruise of the Alabama and the Sumter. From the Private Journals and other Papers of Com mander R. Semmes, C.S.N., and other Officers. Two Vole. Saunders, Otley, and Co. An authentic narrative of the gallant exploits of Commander Semmes, the Cochrane of the Confede. rate States, will be perused with eager interest by all those, and their name is legion, who sympathise with resolute courage and who are enthralled by records of peril and adventure. As early as the spring of 1861, President Davis, not content with gathering together an army of heroic soldiers to defend the new-born independence of the South, was anxious to compete with the enemy at sea, The Federals were at that time well provided with ships, while the Confederates had neither ships nor seamen, to say nothing of their seeming lack of officers. Nothing daunted, the new President, with that happy discrimination which is the best gift of those who govern, at once selected "the right man in the right p:ace." Captain Semmes being then at his residence at Washington, a C im. mender in the Federal Navy, received, on the 14th February, 1861 (auspicious valentine !),a telegraphic invitation from the South. Already the gallant captain's Southern sympathies were well known. He had dectared that "his judgment, his incline. tions, and his affections were with the South." On this hint, therefore, he spoke : on the receipt of the telegraphic message, he at once relinquished his Federal command, and almost immediately taking commaad of the Sumter, he entered upon that ad venturous career with which his name has become so conspieuously,identified. Another Rupert of Bo hemia, he combined the loyal discipline of the naval officer with the reckless gallantry of the buccaneer. Like "an eagle . in a dovecote" the adventurous Sumter, and afterwards the no less dauntless Alabama "fluttered the Volscians" of the Federal navy till that once formidable armament was no where. Records of prize-taking abound in these pages with almost monotonous continuance. Same times the enemy •is captured after a breathless chase and a fair resistance. At others, the Alabama has only to " come" and " conquer." In the case of the Joseph Parker, captured by the Sumter, the victors were considerably entertained by finding an entry in the log-book of the prize, written the day after she had set sail—" We have a tight, fast vessel, and we don't care for Jeff, Davis 1" Wearied at last with three years of continuous adventure and excitement, Captain Semmes and his heroic companions were beginning to desire a respite from their exertioue—when, on the fatal 19th of June, the gallant Alabama met her doom. On her memorable encounter with the Keareage, "the Alabama," says the authentic narrative here before us, " entered the lists when she should have been lying in dock." Perhaps the best specimen we can give of the style, at once simple and vigorous, in which this adven turous narrative is related, will be an extract from the sad record of that disastrous day. The Keareage we are reminded, was "in first-rate condition." The Alabama " fought with an exhausted frame" : She had the henism to decide upon the conflict, without the strength to choose the form of it. After some little mancnavring this became painfully evident to Captain Semmes. The Keareage selected her distance at a range of 500 yards, and being well protected she deliberately took time and fired with sure effect. Captain Semmes had great confidence in the power of his Blakeley rifi:d gun, and we believe it is a confidence not shaken by its failure to win the day for him. He wished to get within easy range of his enemy, that he might try this weapon effectively; but any attempt on his part to come to closer quarters was construed by the Kearsage as a design to bring the engagement between the ships to a hand-to hand conflict between the men. Having the speed, she chose her distance, and made all thought of boarding hope less. It was part of the plan of Captain Semmes to board, it possible, at some period of the day, supposing that he could not quickly decide the battle with artillery. It was evi dently Captain Winslow's determination to avoid the old fashioned form of a naval encounter, and to fight altogether in the new style; his superior steam power gave him the option. When the Alabama took her death wound she was help!ess. We must interpret the respectful distance main tained by the Kearsage up to the very last, and the persis tent plying of her guns while the side of the sinking ship was visible, as a settled resolution on Captain Winslow's part to truss to guns alone, and throughout, so that a dan gerous proximity might be shunned. That much homage was paid by him to the hostile crew, and that his mantcuvre was creditably discreet, tew will deny. The crew of the Alabama, seamen and officers, were in high spirits throughout the engagement, though very early the slaughter set in and the decks were covered with blood. Their fire was rapid and admirable. It has been said in the House of Lords by no less a person than the Duke of Somerset, that her firing was positively bad ; and that she hit the Kearsage only three times during the action. By Captain Winslow's own admission the Kearsage was hit twenty..eight times by shot and shell—or once to every fifth discharge. No seaman knowing anything of an actual engagement on the deep will object to the accuracy of such an aim. Had the Kearsage shown the same blank sides as the Alabama another tale might have been told. Captain Semmes, howevrr, perceived that his shell rebounded after striking her, and exploded harmlessly. This led him to rely upon solid shot. The Alabama not being thus or in any way shielded, was pierced with shell, and soon showed vast rents in her after-part. Her pivot-gun was a distinct mark for the enemy, and a single shell exploded near it killed and wounded half the men by whom it was worked. Each ship fought her starboard broadsides, and steamed in a circle to keep that side to the enemy. So, for an hour, this, to a distant spectator, monotonous maLcouvre continued, without perceptibly narrowing the range. Captain Semmes was standing on the quarter -deck when the chief engineer sent word to say that the ship was endangered by leakage. The fisrt lieutenant, Mr Kell, was sent below to inspect the damage. He returned with word that the ship was sinking. Captain Semmes at once ordered the ship to be put about and steered towards shore. But the water was rising in her; the fires were speedily extinguished. The Alabama's shot from slackening had now ceased. It was evident to all on board that she was doomed. To have continued Airing would have been to indulge a stupid rancour, and to act in such a manner is not in the nature of a seaman like Captain Semmes. On the contrary, his thoughts were directed towards saving the lives of his crew. He gave command for the Confederate flag to be hauled down. Well known as many of these incident already are, their repetition in this more complete and compre hensive form will be right welcome, and the romantic adventures of Captain Semmes and the Alabama will for the time being absorb the atten. Lion even of the readers of " sensational" romance Mysterious Legends of Edinburgh . , now for the First Time Told in Print. By Alexander Leigh . ton, author of " Curious Storied Traditions," &e, One vol. Pp. 272. Nimmo. Some nine or ten more or less enthralling legends, with a few very spirited illustrations, are contained in this volume. They will afford ample entertain ment for many an idle half hour, and will long linger, we conjecture, in the memory of some readers. "Deseon Mscgilliroy's Disappearance," and " Lang Sandy Woo6's Watch," are amusing perplexities with very satisfactory results, Some others of the tales have a more serious interest. Our House and Garden; What we see and what we do not see, in them. By Cuthbert W. Johnson, F.R.S. One vol. Pp. 282. Ridgway. A very interesting and valuable little book, with much information, very pleasantly conveyed. " Our Bedroom," " Our Breakfast Parlour," Our Dining table," " Oar Garden," and " Our Plants," are all made the subjects of very interesting comments. The tea, the coffee, the butter, the marmalade, &c., are each in turn taken into consideration. Those young inquirers who are always seeking the " why and because" of everything, should be referred to Mr Cutnbert Johnson. The Portent; a Story of the Second Sight. By George Macdonald, author of " Within and Without." One vol., pp. 290. Smith, Elder, and Cu. The title of this book, of course, leads us to expect a thrilling and enthralling narrative, and in this we are not disappointed, although we think the author might have made more of a theme of such very weird romance, The principal feature in the story is the clattering of a horse's hoofs with the clanking sound of one loose shoe. This is the Portent : it resounds throughout the pages, and reechoes in our ears when the volume is closed. Corpu . 3nee, its Diminution and Cure, without In• jury to Health: Fourth Edition. Notes of Fifteen Cases of Disease Dependent upon Corpulence, with the 1-lesult of 7reatnaent. • By John Harvey, M.D, John Smith alid Co., Long , acre, W,C: So rapid has been the demand for this little trea tise on the subject of corpulence and its attendant train of maladies, that a fourth (and revised) edition has been called for by the faculty and the public. It is this which is now being published. Of the merits of the work we have already borne testimony, having done so, moreover, when the practical results of Dr Harvey's most philosophical system had not been fairly tested. With this new edition of his work the learned author has issued a small companion volume, in which he gives in detail the favourable result of his new method of treatment in several serious cases of disease, which are contingent upon embonpoint. Amongst others, in cases of dyspepsia, bronchitis, asthma, diseases cf the heart, deafness, &c. &c., all cf which proceeded from obesity, each succumbed under his treatment and directions. Hence, doubtless, the attention which is now being brought to bear upon this matter of corpulence, by the faculty and the public, as the source of many diseases which have hitherto been attributed to other causes, will induce many stout persons suffering from the several ills that too much flesh is heir to, and which have set the ordinary remedies at defiance, to seek for relief, or cure, under the regimen and hygienic rules which are laid down so lucidly in the above works by Dr Harvey. THE AUTOGRAPHIC MIRROR has now reached its thirteenth bi-monthly number ; and, judging from the variety and interest of this, its latest in• stalment, it gives promise of a long and flourishing existence. The current number, in fact is, in its way, as profoundly interesting as any one out of the round dozen preceding it. There is in it a letter (in Russian) from Peter the First, other wise Peter the Great, the most remarkable of all the Autocrats. There is a fac-simile from a pencilled note or mem. (dated April 2, 1864) written by the hand of the Emperor Napoleon 111, one apparently having reference to his Majesty's studies in connection with his forthcoming "Life of Comar." There are auto graphs here also of " Old Abe," otherwise Abraham Lincoln, President of the (extremely) United States—of his Minister of State, William Henry Seward—and of his Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, Charles Francis Adams. Among the rest of the autographic memorabilia in No, XVIII. are some from the hands of Lord Riglan (when Fitzroy Somerset), of Lord Clyde (when Colin Campbell), of Sainte Beuve and Raoul Roehette, of Klopstoek, and Lady Hester Stanhope. There are two lightly sketched profile likenesses of Schiller, showing him (supposing them to be correct) to have been rather low-browed and exceedingly lackadaieycal, As the tail-piece to this excellent number of the Autogra phic Review there is a facsimile of the portrait of a dog, sketched in pencil by Sir David Wilkie. Anniversary of the Prince Consort's Birthday By command of her Majesty, the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have directed that the gardens shall be opened freely to the public on August 26, 1864, the an niversary of the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, the founder of the gardens. The council have issued the following statement for the guidance of the public : " There will be entrances to the gardens at the east in Exhibition-road, west in Prince Albert's-road, and south in the Exhibition road. The entrances will be opened at 10 and closed at 6 o'clock, There are about 3G acres of ground and ample optic° for all visitors. No tickets will be issued. The police will instruct visitors as to the several exits from the ground. The conservatory, orchard houses, the arcades, and the maze will all be opened. The cascades and dinton's fountain will play. The Old Hundredth Psalm, a hymn composed by the Prince Consort, and God save the Queen' will be sung by the visitors. The singing will take place on the north or upper terrace in front of the conservatory. ' God save the Queen' will be sung at 6 o'clock. Bands will be stationed in several parts of the gardens, and will per form at intervals during the day. Omnibuses pass the gardens. steamers land passengers at Cadogan pier, Chel sea, and there is a railway station in the Fulla ‘m-road, both places being about a mile from the gardens. Clubs, schools, &c., may be accompanied by the banners and bands. Refreshments will be sold at moderate rates, or visitors may bring their own. The south arcades at the lower eud of the garden, as in the Exhibition of 1862, and either of the annexes, may be used for the refreshments but visitors are requested not to use the flower garden as a place for refreshments." Frightful Accident on the North London Railway. A fearful accident, causing the utmost excitement and alarm in Camden Town, occurred to an express train, at the Camden-road Station of the North London Railway, which has been attended with the loss of life in at least one case. ' The escape of a large number of passengers who were in the train was almost miraculous. The following are the particulars of the occarrence as gathered upon the spot :--- That portion of the rail way which crosses Randolph-street, and over which the platform of the Camden-road Station extends, is supported on iron pillars, with wooden girders, and it is about this point that the up-trains to the City usually bring up their engines. The morning express, which stops at the Camden-road station on its way to the City, left Chalk Farm at its usual time (half-past nine), and arrived at Camden-road a few minutes after. The ex press train was brought to a stand, with the engine just on the eastern side of the bridge referred to. The passen gers at the station had entered the carriages, and the moment the driver, named John Ellis, turned on his steam, he was startled by hearing a report in his firebox, like that of a retort or fog signal, and he instantly, jumped off. Before the unfortunate stoker, William Davis, had time to follow his example, the fire-box exploded with a loud report. The engine was blown upward and forward high into the air, and descended, carrying with it a large portion of the stone coping and buttress of the brickwork of the bridge into Randolph-street below—the greater por tion, however, resting on the enclosed ground belonging to the North London Company. But for the coupling chain which secured the train to the engine snapping asunder when the latter bounded from the line, the carriages must inevitably have been dragged over the bridge into the road beneath. In its descent the engine had turned completely round, and when it alighted on the ground it was found that it had embedded its near side driving-wheel completely in the earth. The alarm of the passengers, who rushed frantically from the carriages, may be better imagined than described. They were seen running in every direction, and a great amount of confusion prevailed. The first object of the station-master was to see if any ono was injured; and fortunately, owing to the direction the explosion had taken, none of the passengers were in the slightist degree .hurt, nor was any carriage damaged. The poor stoker, DaV;S, was, however, found lying in the six-foot space, frightfully mutilated and scalded. He was at once conveyed to Uni versity College Hospital, and it is not at all likely that he will recover. As soon as the confusion occasioned by the cataserophe had somewhat subsided, Mr Adams, the chief of the locomotive department, was on the spot, with Mr Anderson, locomotive foreman at Camden station of the North-Western, Mr Mansell, the secretary, and other authorities; and it was then discovered that the concus sion had somewhat shattered the wooden girders sup porting the_ bridge, but that the rails had been but little it in any degree displaced. The force of the shock had broken the coupling between the engine and the first carriage short off at the buffer plank. The chimney was smashed and knocked over; one of the massive iron side plates, bearing the number of the engine, and the words " North London Railway," was knocked off, and the whole of the left side of the fire box wee blown out, Here would appear to have been the Beat of explosion and cause of the disaster. As a proof that the engine mounted high into the air and turned completely round in her descent, it may be mentioned that the telegraph wires of the station, which aro some 10 or 15 feet above the line, were broken down, and communication on that particular side .of the line stopped. Fortunately, there was no one passing under the bridge at the time of the explosion, otherwise the result would have been fatal. Only a minute previously, how ever, a horse and cart was driven by. The weight of the engine is estimated at about 23 toes, from which seme idea may be formed of the force with which it fell. One of the North-Western Company's servants was on the platform, and he also was much scalded. Beyond the cases we have named no one appears to have been injured. It is needless to say that for a time the traffic was checked, but the rails were soon repaired, and the trains ran in the order set down in the table. The height of the bridge from which the en gine fell is about 25 feet. The engine, which was made in 1851 at Bristol, now lies covered in the roadway, a perfect wreck. It may be added that the fragments of the machi nery were hurled in all directions, the fit e-bars flying about like so many sticks of wood. The knowledge of the occur rence spread so rapidly that in a few minutes hundreds wero on the spot, and it required the aid of a strong force of the S division of police to keep the crowds oil the engine whilst it was yet steaming away after it came over the railway. In reply to inquiries made at the University College Ties pital last night it was stated that the stoker was dead. It appears that Mr and Mrs Charles Kean, to gether with Miss Chapman and Mr Everett, de parted from Melbourne for Sydney on the 22d of June, per steamer, cn route for the Sandwich Islands and California. Their departure had been dolaycd for several weeks by the long and severe illness of Mrs Kean, from which she had only just recovered sufficiently to permit her to travel.
